About Merton

Nine men from Merton are known to have been killed in the Great War, five of them while serving with the Devonshire Regiment. All bar one, who died in the country we now call Iraq, were killed on the Western Front.

They are all honoured on a brass plaque in the parish’s All Saints Church.
